	Among the samples coming with DJGPP 1.11 I found a packdrv.c
	with which network package does it work ?
	
	I am having a serious pb with freeing memory which is
	apparently never freed : using a sligtly modified dpmimem.c 
	here is what I get ! Am I making a stupid mistake or how can
	I get back my memeory ?


available memory          =      22,257,664
available pages           =           5,434
available lockable pages  =           1,851
linear space              =              -1
unlocked pages            =           1,864
available physical memory =       7,581,696
total physical memory     =       7,634,944
free linear space         =              -1
size of paging file       =      14,675,968
remaining physical memory =       7,581,696
remaining virtual memory  =      22,257,664

memory alloced and freed
%	this is the piece of code I mean by that 
%	c = (char *)calloc(4*1024*1024,sizeof(char));
%	if (c == NULL)	
%	{
%		fprintf(stderr,"calloc error\n");
%		exit(0);
%	}
—	free(c);

available memory          =      18,051,072
available pages           =           4,407
available lockable pages  =             824
linear space              =              -1
unlocked pages            =           1,864
available physical memory =       3,375,104
total physical memory     =       7,634,944
free linear space         =              -1
size of paging file       =      14,675,968
remaining physical memory =       3,375,104
remaining virtual memory  =      18,051,072

	many thanks for any clue
